Plumbing

Waste outlet and P-traP

The waste outlet is located at the left hand end of these

fixtures allowing drip piping to be run under the fixture

lengthwise.

A 1” P-TRAP and threaded adapter are supplied with each

fixture. The P-TRAP must be installed to prevent air leakage

and insect entrance into the fixture.
installing Condensate drain

Poorly or improperly installed condensate drains can

seriously interfere with the operation of this refrigerator, and

result in costly maintenance and product losses. Please

follow the recommendations listed below when installing

condensate drains to insure a proper installation:

1. Never use pipe for condensate drains smaller

than the nominal diameter of the pipe or P-TRAP

supplied with the case.

. When connecting condensate drains, the P-TRAP

must be used as part of the condensate drain

to prevent air leakage or insect entrance. Store

plumbing system floor drains should be at least 14”

off the center of the case to allow use of the P-TRAP

pipe section. Never use two water seals in series in

any one line. Double P-TRAPS in series will cause a

lock and prevent draining.

3. Always provide as much down hill slope (“fall”) as

possible; 1/8” per foot is the preferred minimum.

PVC pipe, when used, must be supported to

maintain the 1/8” pitch and to prevent warping.

4. Avoid long runs of condensate drains. Long runs

make it impossible to provide the “fall” necessary for

good drainage.

5. Provide a suitable air break between the flood rim of

the floor drain and outlet of condensate drain. 1” is

ideal.

6. Prevent condensate drains from freezing:

a. Do not install condensate drains in contact with

non-insulated suction lines. Suction lines should

be insulated with a non-absorbent insulation

material such as Armstrong’s Armaflex.

b. Where condensate drains are located in dead

air spaces (between refrigerators or between a

refrigerator and a wall), provide means to prevent

freezing. The water seal should be insulated to

prevent condensation.

refrigeration

refrigerant type

The standard refrigerant will be R-404 unless otherwise

specified on the customer order. Check the serial plate on

the case for information.
Piping for more than one case on a condensing unit is run

underground with either common suction and liquid lines

from the machine room or individual suction and liquid lines

joined together in the machine room.

Refrigerant lines should be sized as shown on the

Install

P-traPs (oil traps) at the base of all suction line

vertical risers.
Pressure drop can rob the system of capacity. To keep the

pressure drop to a minimum, keep refrigerant line run as

short as possible, using the minimum number of elbows.

Where elbows are required, use long radius elbows only.
for refrigerators with Koolgas defrost, suction, and

liquid lines should not contact each other and should

be insulated for a minimum of 30’ from the refrigerator.

additional insulation for the balance of liquid and

suction lines is recommended and required wherever

condensation and dripping would be objectionable.

Control settings - remote

See FMSS-L technical data sheet for the appropriate

settings for your merchandiser. Maintain these parameters

to achieve near constant product temperatures. Product

temperature should be measured first thing in the morning,

after having been refrigerated overnight. Defrost times

should be as directed in the FMSS-L technical data sheet.

The number of defrosts per day should never change.

The duration of the defrost cycle may be adjusted to meet

conditions present at your location.
Control settings - self Contained

On Self Contained cases all functions, defrost, fans,

temperature are controlled by Pagon ERC- controller. See

case specs for proper temperature and defrost settings.
access to tX valves and drain lines

Mechanical - Remove product from end of case. Remove

product racks. Remove refrigeration and drain access

panels (labeled). TX valve (mechanical only) and drain are

located under each access panel at end of the case.
electronic - The Electronic Expansion valve master and

slave cylinder(s) are located within the electrical access

panel(s).
electronic expansion valve (optional)

A wide variety of electronic expansion valves and case

controllers can be utilized. Please refer to EEV and

controller manufacturers information sheet. Sensors for

electronic expansion valves will be installed on the coil inlet,

coil outlet, and in the discharge air. (Some supermarkets

require a 4th sensor in the return air). Case controllers will

be located in the electrical raceway or under the case.
